On possible long-term goal for her in Somarium

[doesntpoop]

 Did I hear this right?

.....You want me to actually care about someone? 

You're even more stupid than I originally thought, mundane.

...I... I still believe you could, if you only let yourself.

[doesntpoop]

'Let' myself? [Scoffs] I would expect that sort of talk coming from someone as foolish as you, Iris.

[hazakurain]

If it is foolishness...

[She pauses, timidly, but finding her voice nonetheless. This is as close as she'll get to really and truly standing up to Dahlia.]

Then, perhaps having a foolish, indulgent wish is not so bad. I still believe in you, Dollie.

[doesntpoop]

'Believe' in me? [Dahlia just stares at her sister for a second and then lets out a cold, sardonic laugh]

That's funny, coming from the woman who abandoned her sister.

[hazakurain]

[Being not unused to the derision, Iris simply regards it with a mild, albeit conceding, tone.]

I know... I may never be able to atone for it, but... I still wish happiness for the people I love, even if it's wrong.

If you could only be happy that way, I would be at peace, too.

[doesntpoop]

You wish for my happiness? Don't make me laugh! If you did that, you wouldn't have been such a filthy little backstabber in the first place. You would have done exactly as I told you to, wouldn't you?

[coreopsideae]

It's kind of sad, really. They're all rather deluded in their own false assumptions...

[doesntpoop]

They are indeed. Besides, who in their right mind would want to have the same intelligence as that spiky-haired idiot?

[coreopsideae]

[Intelligence? Phoenix? Oh that is a very good joke there, other Dahlia. They should be a comedy duo.]

Is that what she wants for you in the end? You have my deepest condolences, in that case.

[doesntpoop]

It seems that way, yes. It's a hilarious joke, either way.

[coreopsideae]

It really is...! [especially because it's not happening to her. Sorry, bro, feeling bad for a different version of herself only goes so far.]

At the very least, I'm sure it will be interesting to watch them try.

[doesntpoop]

Interesting? That's a rather strange way to put it. [Yeah, she's noticed you're not being exactly sympathetic and isn't that amused about it. Even though she would probably do the same if it was the other Dahlia in that position. :/]

[chiefdefense]

I wouldn't have thought that caring was in your vocab, Dahlia.

[doesntpoop]

Well, Miss Grey, it looks like we are actually agreeing with each other for once. [Even though she still hates your guts]

[chiefdefense]

You know, it's sad when premature senility sets in and leads you to forget someone's name.

[The feeling is entirely mutual.]

[doesntpoop]

Premature senility? I'm afraid you must be mistaken. Have you looked in a mirror recently?
